[00:01] deck called Aviator, it's much cheaper than other decks, that is, it compares favorably with them in price, but does it differ in quality and in general in

[00:13] feel? We'll check this right now with me. Let's go, but if you like this deck and you need a deck for magic tricks but at an affordable price, then you can find it at the link in the description in my personal store,

[00:26] description and buy it, and we'll start unpacking. Let's go. The first thing that catches your eye is that some might call it outdated, but I would say

[00:38] that this is a classic deck design, like old cigarettes or old decks, such a classic, not pretentious, without any frills or complex designs, everything is very minimalistic, but I like it. The second thing that

[00:54] immediately catches your eye is that the deck is not packed in film, probably they saved on this if it's such a budget option, but the most important thing that interests me is how much these cards differ from other cards, say, from the

[01:07] Bosyakovs, in terms of coverage, which is the most interesting thing on The deck doesn't say anywhere what kind of coating it is, at least I didn't find it. It doesn't say anywhere what kind of coating it is. As they usually write about the dashing one on the base,

[01:24] usually write about the dashing one on the base, so let's open it.

[01:37] It smells the same as Barsik. Let's take out the deck. Let me close my eyes and try to understand if these cards feel different from what I

[01:49] if these cards feel different from what I timed. Yes,

[02:03] tell you this. It's a different deck. It does n't have that same coating because if it did, they would have definitely written about it. However, I'd also like to say that the deck is remarkably believable despite the fact that there is no special coating,

[02:20] but a Kashin finish or some other finish or some other other finish or some other coatings. This coating doesn't have that porous structure or I don't know what to call it. You know, where there are small

[02:34] holes, that is, the surface of the finger, it's like some kind of small depressions, pits, where there is air, and when we believe or

[02:47] do something with the deck, this air allows us to move more smoothly towards the cards. However, as you can see, the deck is remarkably believable without these special coatings. As for double raises triple

[03:02] As for double raises triple raises now we'll see I first of all pay attention to the feel of the deck and then we'll go over the feel of the deck and then we'll go over the design of the classic deck

[03:14] design of the classic deck you know I can't say anything bad about this deck at all that is it feels almost the same as the basic with one exception that here the coating is smoother that is if

[03:29] bikes have it like a ball ball and here it's so smooth but on paper the feel of the deck is absolutely the same and in terms of card hardness everything else is about the same I'm of course interested in the question of how this

[03:46] but considering that this is the same factory the same manufacturers and the quality is same manufacturers and the quality is actually the same as for the design it's an absolutely classic ordinary design as you can see there's

[04:00] nothing incredible here such a card with poker guides then poker guides then with combinations then we have some kind of empty instructions here and these are the rules of the game of

[04:16] Texas Hold'em I don't know I haven't played but maybe he knows what kind of game this is Texas Hold'em additional attack It's a joke and, in fact, it's the same as what we've seen in other decks. The same

[04:32] seen in other decks. The same applies to Spring of the Spring King. It's applies to Spring of the Spring King. It's also pretty good. Let's try also pretty good. Let's try some kind of joke and do it. Yes, yes, yes, it all

[04:52] Guys, I want to say that I would recommend this deck for a try, especially to those who have the means, but not so much, who would like to get a

[05:04] new deck without soldering. Something else. It has a completely without soldering. Something else. It has a completely classic standard back design. You could see it on your grandmother's carpet, for example.

[05:19] It's a design that's nothing special. I can't say anything good or bad. It's an old, ordinary design for regular cards, but that does n't stop this deck from performing tricks. I feel like this deck will last as long

[05:33] as standard troops. So, it's a pretty good option. It's a joker, an aviator joker. Thank you all very much for your attention. Good luck to everyone. I

[05:46] Thank you all very much for your attention. Good luck to everyone. I love you all. And there will be a kitty uniform for a five percent discount on all decks in the five percent discount on all decks in the store. Go ahead.
